SAN JOSE—Women who were sexually tortured by Mexican security forces over a decade ago testified Thursday, Nov.16, before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, asking for an investigation into the case that happened in the state once run by President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Several of the 11 victims told judges at the Costa-Rica based court about the abuse they suffered after they were detained following a protest in May 2006 at the town of San Salvador de Atenco, about 25 miles northeast of Mexico City. The town is located in the State of Mexico, which rings the capital.
